Enzyme update

It has been about two and a half weeks since we started the enzymes, and I think we are through the worst of the adjustment period. Late last week, I found out that the best way to give them to Nate is just get it over with using a medicine syringe instead of sneaking them into his food. He was starting not to trust me when I fed him (seriously), which was sad. Now he knows he just has to drink the medicine I give him (enzyme powder mixed with juice), then I cheer for him and he's done. I had mentioned last week that his "physical symptoms" were better, but I was wrong; his diapers are still worse, which actually is a good sign (means his body is getting rid of all the bad stuff that has been in there). In general, Nate is returning to his happy self, and I'm very hopeful that he'll be even better than his happy self in the coming weeks, perhaps communicating more, obeying when I tell him to do something, and even saying a new word or two (or more?).
